My Map Problem Thread

[mxocosa]

Starting to make a lot of threads so I thought I would just make one for my questions. Link to my Map Thread: The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Wars

My current problem is: This is kinda a hard one I got this hero thats kinda a corrupt captain so I came up with this funny idea for an ability but I have no idea if its possible or easily done. I want him to be able to have a skill that spawns a unit right infront of him, gives him 200 extra hp and 1armor. The unit should stay infront of him until he have lost 200hp and then remove the buff.The ability should have 3 lvls and for each level it should add one unit infront of him and add 200hp and 1 armor per unit. ability should not be able to be used again until he have lost all 3 citizens if he got lvl 3 and both if he got lvl 2. and the only 1 at lvl 1. The unit shouldnt have any health or armor itself since I dont want it to be possible to sneak around him but it should increase his pathing if possible. Hope anyone can come up with a solution for this because I would love to have it in my map

You could play around with the Fade Filter.


The other way is to call the different lightnings over a custom script. More info here: http://wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=82062

thx used the fade filter wonder why I didnt notice that was looking through cinematics several times >< anyways does anyone know how long a day last in RL time? Also is it possible to attach a image to a post and if so how?

 

[0cossin77]

Not to be completly obvious, but 24 hours... As for a "day" in WC3, not shure, seems like a couple minutes.

 

[Zakyath]

You can change in Game Interfacee

 

[mxocosa]

could anyone tell me how to add a multiboard that counts the days?

 

[Rabarber]

Every 1 second of game time, change value to value + X?

 

[mxocosa]

yeah but I could find how to add a integer variable to a multiboard

 

[Rabarber]

You can't, all you can do is setting the value of the leader/multiboard to the value of the integer.

 

[Prometheus]

For a multiboard use Convert String to Integer

 

[mxocosa]

ok fixed it thx for the help =)

 

[mxocosa]

Is it bad to use the No limits tool to increase amount of doodads/destructibles?

 

[Rabarber]

Probably not.

 

[mxocosa]

yeah the only thing I could guess on would be that the map would take longer to load =/
